Designed for standalone use, the FPS 1000 power supply from Amtex Electronics is a 1U, 1000W power supply, designed to be installed into the FPS 1U x 19 inch rack assembly for n+1 redundancy. The low profile rack can house up to three 1KW units, taking the available total power to 3000 watts. 

The FPS 1000 power supply unit is also suitable as a combined power supply / battery charger in battery backup systems - all at 1U. 

Output choices range from 24V, 32V and 48 VDC, and the wide adjustment range is typically 20%. The FPS 1000 power supply unit has a universal AC input with PFC and the choice of connector on the front or rear panel. 

FREMONT, CA — (MARKET WIRE) — September 06, 2006 — Antec, Inc., the leading global brand of high-performance computer components for the PC upgrade and Do-It-Yourself markets, has announced that its premium power supply unit (PSU) lines have been upgraded to a Five-Year Warranty. Antec’s high-efficiency Neo HE and TruePower Trio lines of PSUs will be warranted for five years from the date of purchase for parts and labor.All Antec products have previously been backed by its industry-leading Three-Year Warranty. The new warranty will be retroactive to all selected PSUs purchased prior to the announcement of the new cover.

If your system is bristling with hard drives and other devices, then you’ll need enough power to support them. Antec’s latest power supply may be useful.

Antec’s TruePower Trio 650 power supply unit (PSU) is, at 3.4 x 5.5 x 5.9 inches, the same size physically as any other power supply you’re likely to purchase. It’s the 650 watts of output power that makes it tower figuratively over its competition. Let me start with a confession: I’m old enough to have owned computers with 43-watt power supplies and then to have marveled as the next generation appeared sporting an even more monstrous 65-watt version. At the time, it would have been difficult to image what new components could possibly have been installed that would require such a drastic increase in power.
